    Did you really read that site? I love how our government feels compelled to explain how lists work. Here’s the quote: “Note: Rank 1 is the most popular, rank 2 is the next most popular, and so forth.”

    Thanks for thinking we’re morons. But what’s really sad, it appears we are.

    Ima Fish – It’s not that they think you are a moron. It’s that they think others that make lists backwards are morons and want to assure you THEY are not morons having the list backwards.
